While at Acton University not too long ago, Buenos Aires journalist Adrián Bono sat down with Rev. Robert Sirico to discuss Laudato Si’. Bono recently wrote about his interview with Acton’s president and co-founder at Infobae. “Muchos no saben que la encíclica depende de la hermenéutica,” Sirico argued, “que significa cómo puede interpretada. No es un documento infalible.” Simply put, Laudato Si’ is not a binding document for Catholics, but many don’t understand that. He continues on that thought:

Later, Sirico expressed concern about the encyclical’s call for some kind of global organization to promote “a green agenda.” “Una mayor concentración de poder no sólo en manos de un estado,” he said, “sino también en manos de un organismo jurídico internacional es un problema desde un punto de vista económico. Cuando se recorta a la economía de mercado y se demoniza al mercado, estamos frente a un argumento bastante dudoso.” He affirmed the free market principle, that a large amount of power given to a large, central agency will only harm the market and the people it intends to help.
